Actionscript-generated particle text emitter

Hi folks,

I recently came across this impressive actionscript preloader which spews out the loading progress percentage figures:

http://activeden.net/item/trailing-n...reloader/51944

I would like to create something similar (not a preloader though), except I need more control over the numbers it emits (not just counting from 1-100), and I also need for these numbers to be emitted from a sprite that I would animate, or a path matching the movement of the sprite.

Has anyone out there come across anything similar to this preloader that sounds like it works similarly to what I've described?

I'd be very grateful if anyone can point me toward a tutorial or commercial product I could buy.

Cheers,

Luke
